Abstract
The present paper discusses the doctrine of separation of power vis-a-vis concept of judicial review. Further, it discusses the inception of American doctrine of judicially manageable standards (JDMSs). In the next part, the paper will present how the Indian Supreme Court has accepted this American doctrine in various prevailing scenarios. The concept of political question has been used by our judiciary to refrain themselves in exercising jurisdiction over issues that are exclusively meant for the other two branches of the Government. An argument will be advanced through case studies, concerning the selective indulgence of Court in adjudicating upon issues where it lacked the necessary JDMSs.
